Birds Canada

How are Canada’s birds doing? The State of Canada’s Birds 2024 helps us answer this question. The State of Canada’s Birds is built on over 50 years of bird monitoring data, much of it collected by volunteer Citizen Scientists. Some of the trends revealed by this report are worrying, like a 67% decline in Grassland Birds due to overwhelming habitat loss. Other trends are uplifting; Waterfowl, Birds of Prey, and Wetland Birds have all increased in population since 1970. The State of Canada’s Birds is a partnership between Birds Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada.

L'état des populations d'oiseaux du Canada 2024 nous aide à répondre à cette question. L'état des populations d'oiseaux du Canada s’appuie sur plus de 50 ans de données de surveillance des oiseaux, dont la plupart sont recueillies par des citoyens scientifiques. Certaines des tendances révélées sont inquiétantes, tel que le déclin de 67 % des oiseaux de prairies en raison d'une perte considérable d'habitat. D’autres tendances sont encourageantes : la sauvagine, les oiseaux de proie et les oiseaux des milieux humides ont tous vu leur population augmenter depuis 1970. L'état des populations d'oiseaux du Canada est un partenariat entre Oiseaux Canada et Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Birds Canada President & CEO Patrick Nadeau is an alum of the Loran Scholars Foundation. He is featured in their recently released annual report, speaking to his continued connection with the foundation's core values of character, service, and leadership: “Not a day goes by when Loran’s core values don’t inform my work. I'm profoundly compelled to protect the beauty and diversity of life on Earth. It’s what fuels my enthusiasm for the role and what I lean on when I need to find the courage to take meaningful risks as the leader of an organization.”

We're thrilled to announce that Birds Canada has received a grant from @FedDev Ontario to expand the nature-based tourism offering around our headquarters in Norfolk County. With a focus on accessibility, this funding will be used to develop trails, facilities, resources, and programming for visitors. This project will help grow and diversify tourism in the region, benefiting local employment and economies, and creating enduring community assets. We're eager to share our passion for bird conservation and environmental education with more people. As Stu Mackenzie, our Director of Strategic Assets, says: "These improvements will help cement Birds Canada as a leader in developing and delivering tourism opportunities that engage Canadians in outdoor exploration and environmental education, aligned with vibrant research and conservation goals."

Conserva Aves officially expands to Mexico! At COP16 in Cali, Renée González Montagut, General Director of the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature (FMCN), Elizabeth Gray, Ph.D., CEO of National Audubon Society, and Patrick Nadeau, President & CEO of Birds Canada signed a trilateral agreement to implement Conserva Aves in Mexico.
